Left-wing protesters demonstrated outside the homes of Blue and White leader Benny Gantz and Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein on Friday afternoon.
The protesters complained that Knesset committees have not been set up yet. Edelstein has said they will be set up on Monday and Gantz's party went to the Supreme Court to ensure that they would be set up, but the protesters said they wanted to make a point about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continuing to serve despite his indictments.
"A black flag is flying over the actions of the indicted prime minister," the protest organizers said. "But he is not the only one who is guilty. Our elected officials collaborating with his anti-democratic actions is a crime against Israeli democracy."
The protesters said they demonstrated outside Gantz's home in Rosh Ha'ayin "to remind him that he has a spine and balls." Dozens of cars came near Gantz's home.
They also protested outside the Tel Aviv home of Likud MK Gideon Sa'ar and the Kiryat Ono home of Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan "to remind them that they are not dish rags."
Edelstein blasted the protesters, saying that they were sent by the left-wing inside Blue and White to pressure Gantz not to join a national unity government.
There will be an anti-Netanyahu demonsration on Saturday night on Facebook. Speakers include former Shin-Bet head Yuval Diskin, former Mossad head Efraim Halevy and former Supreme Court judge Elyakim Rubinstein. It will be hosted by actor Lior Ashkenazi, who plays Gantz on the Eretz Nehederet show.
There will be a pro-Netanyahu rally on porches and doorsteps across the country in favor of Netanyahu.
